Discussion Do you care about how it will be like after?

Do you care if there really is a heaven or a hell? Or maybe reincarnation, spirtual existence, or maybe you just sit there in the dark? Any other afterlife situation you can think of. Does it matter which one it is for you?

I don't really know which I would perfer, I just want it done. I don't think I want any. I don't know what I want! But I know I want it over with

Definitely not reincarnation, once is enough. I mean, if we can definitively prove there's a heaven/hell, without using faith as evidence, I would care because who would want to go to eternal damnation? Lol

I figure we all end up on whatever The Other Side is eventually even if it's not intentional. Death and taxes - I've paid my taxes this year so
I guess I've internalized a bit of the Christian bullshit of hell and purgatory but like my profile picture implies - maybe THIS is the bad place??? Sure has felt like purgatory or hell most of the time.
I like to think reincarnation is a thing and hope I can have a better life in the next go around. But I'll probably come back as a damn cockroach. But maybe that's not so bad? No W2 in roach-life.

You can assume that i'm kidna "science person" and i try my best not to use "beliefs" as much as possible. There are things i know, there are things i do not know and in those things i do not know, are things i hope for. AFAIK there's no scientific proof of afterlife so far. I mean - noone "reported back" so either there's no going back or we do not remember when we go back, which is actually fine by me. So, if there is reincarnation - i don't give a flying intercourse because i won't remember this life anyway. And since there's no proof that reincarnation occurs, there's also no known method to break the cycle so why should i even care.
As for the afterlife without ability to return - i hope there's not. Only nothingness, same as before our birth. And even if there is "something" - there's no method to avoid it so why worry if i can't influence it anyway.
